By Season 3, his character was shaped into being level- headed at all times, even in normal conversation. Justifiable in that he starts to retreat emotionally during his struggle with his hearing loss. Friend to Bugs. Game of Nerds: He likes baseball. Innocently Insensitive: His distant approach to social life leads him to sometimes saying the wrong things without realizing it, specifically to Sara before they dated, much to her frustration (she nearly quits over it). Intelligence Equals Isolation: Especially in the earlier seasons. Despite his intelligence and expert grasp of human nature, Grissom led a very isolated life, and rebuffed most opportunities of interaction outside of the workplace. He even turned down Sara's initial dating requests in Season 3. Married to the Job : For most of the series, at least until he married Sara. Catherine used to tell him to take his head out of his microscope once in a while. Nice Hat: Seen sporting a straw sunhat in more than one episode. It was once complimented by a hooker. ![]() ![]() And that hat belongs to Petersen himself acquired from his own travels. Not That Kind of Doctor. Papa Wolf: Pretty much the only way to get him riled up is to either threaten one of his teammates, especially Sara, or do anything to endanger children. Platonic Life Partners: With Catherine.

For a while, anyway. Platonic Life Partners: With Grissom. Put on a Bus: Season 1. She's with the FBI now. The Bus Came Back: Like Grissom, came back to Vegas for the series finale case, which started at the casino she inherited, and decided to stay. Revenge Before Reason: Her automatic hatred towards registered sex offenders and anyone she even suspects of being a child abuser. The long version: Catherine has several times had a very strong reaction to cases where a little girl is the victim of their case, to the point where she will allow her own emotions to cloud her judgement. It is hinted this is because she is the mother of a young girl. Her emotions have caused her to severely jump the gun when it comes to a suspect and showing no hesitation to add her own verbal disgust and disbelief towards a suspect when they tells her their side of the story. Sara even once lampshaded this by snarking that it was . ![]() TV of the ’90s was undeniably dope, especially the black comedies.

She believed he was a child molester because of his name on the Sexual Predator Watch List though he was only there because of an incident where he got high on hallucinogenics and walked out naked in front of a bus full of children. After the man's fiance found out about his past (through Catherine vindictively outing him) and that he was using an assumed name, she kicked him out of the house and then got him fired by telling his boss.

She even referred to the event as the . She ended up in foster care. Not to mention the stuff that's happened to her since. Freudian Excuse. Hint Dropping: Tries this as a tactic while trying to court Grissom. She once told Hodges (who was fretting about a possible grey hair) that she finds grey hair rather sexy, while standing next to Grissom. Eventually, she point- blank asks him out, which he refuses. After a couple of more years, he eventually comes around to Glad You Thought of It. Hot For Supervisor. The Lancer. The Maiden Name Debate: She still uses .

I *Might* See Dead People / Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: His grandmother had . One the one hand he couldn't detect anything when he was in the . Raymond Langston Bowties Are Cool: Averted. Langston begins wearing bowties for practicality after his necktie was contaminated at his first crime scene and he had to cut it as evidence. Crazy- Prepared. Enemy Within: He possesses the same . His father was apparently violent, and Raymond worries that he may become that way himself. He also has a gene that has been associated with violent behaviour. On the other hand, when faced with Serial Killer Nate Haskell, who has the same gene and his own abusive father, he testifies in open court against his attempt to use this card, and afterwards Haskell admits to him that he decided in his youth he'd blame it on those things if he were ever caught. I Am Not My Father. Not That Kind of Doctor: Inverted, he is that kind of doctor (or rather, he used to be). The Professor. Put on a Bus: After killing Haskell, he is discharged from CSI by IAB and sent back to the east coast with his former ex- wife. He's mentioned once in the Season 1. Token Minority Riley Adams Played by: Lauren Lee Smith D. B. Russell Bunny- Ears Lawyer: Almost as much, if not more, than Grissom. Cloudcuckoolander: Sometimes, at least. Cool Old Guy. Do Not Call Me . Also in his premiere as well as he is posing as a dead body for . In CSI: Cyber he's divorced. Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Not to Langston, but rather Grissom. Team Dad: Picking up where Grissom left off, but in a different kind of way since D. B. He's especially this trope for Greg and Morgan, the two youngest CSIs. They're a little weirded out by it.

Parental Abandonment: Ecklie left when she was 1. She uses the surname of her stepfather. Ship Tease: Several moments with Greg and, believe it or not, Hodges, whom she pretends to date to impress his mother. Vitriolic Best Buds: A Type II with Greg and Sara is shaping up. Absolutely has this with Hodges. They bicker frequently, but clearly care about each other. Morgan actually flat- out refers to him as her best friend, and even once agreed to pretend to date him in order to get his mother off his back. With Elisabeth electing not to come back for the series finale movie, it seems unlikely she's ever going to wake up. The Grand Finale confirms she died. Do Not Call Me . She prefers Finn.
